The group of people who become eligible during the summer months to receive the fuel allowance will not be able to apply for it until September. How are persons whose incomes fall during the months of April, May, June, July, August and September to be identified? Will they have an opportunity to make an application for the fuel allowance to ensure their telephone allowance will be payable during the summer months, or will they be excluded until September when they can apply for the fuel allowance? I want to ensure those who meet the eligibility criteria will receive the relevant payment.
